Are you referring to mirroring or you just unable to set up homesharing.
AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). It also requires the computer to be using wi-fi.

The promotional material online doesn't make this clear but I like the sound of what' said on Apple TV.
I'll buy one now if it works!

In what way? You can use home-sharing to stream your iTunes library and Photos. If it's a recent MBA then you will also be able to mirror when Mountain Lion is released.

How much does it cost to fix an Macbook Air 11 inch screen?

How much does it cost to fix an Macbook Air 11 inch screen?
I am pretty sure the LCD is broken because it seemed as if ink was spreading across the screen and it has been broken for a couple months now. Please Help.

I concur with Osmar. That sounds like a valid guess to me.
If you want to know the exact price you will have to take it to the local Apple Store and let them examine it. Then they will tell you your options and the cost for them.
There always it the question of did running with the damaged screen for months cause additional problems which can only be determined by Apple after they examine it. If there is that could add to the cost significantly.

How do you use multiple displays with a MacBook Pro and iMac

I have an iMac and a MacbookPro laptop both upgraded to OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). I'd like to use multiple displays with them. Can I do this without an Apple TV? They are both on the same network. If I can, can someone please give some instructions on how this can be done?
Thanks!

Both computers have ports for external monitors. Check your user manuals. Only one display can be added to the MBP, but newer iMacs have dual Thunderbolt ports.
Do your own Google research to learn what to do, but reading your manuals should be all you really need. It' not rocket science yet.

Paging `dd` gurus: How did this use of `dd` destroy my Macbook Air HD?

Hi all,
edit: tl;dr:
1) What code tells the Macbook Air (or any PC?) how to boot from a flash drive in the USB port? That wouldn't live on the hard drive or be a part of the MBR or GPT would it? I would have thought that lives in the Macbook's firmware somewhere.
2) Can `dd` change a computer's firmware?
end tl;dr
I'm brand new to Arch Linux, but really like it so far. I got it running nice and smooth on my 4 year old Macbook, so I tried installing it on my Macbook Air.
Long story short, I apparently permanently incapacitated my late 2010 Macbook Air's hard drive from a poor use of `dd`. A new hard drive is on the way and will be taken care of, but I'm curious to learn what exactly my actions did.
After my unfortunate actions, the macbook after powering on would just hang at a gray screen. Tapping the power button didn't do anything, but holding the power button turned it off. I tried putting in the system restore USB stick that came with it, and rebooted while holding down c, and nothing happened. Rebooting while holding down option didn't bring up the boot disk menu. Holding down Cmd+Shift+P+R seemed to reset the PRAM (at least, it restarted like it's supposed to), but didn't fix anything.
I took it into my local Apple store and the Genius at the Genius Bar didn't know what to do. He said we couldn't boot from a restore USB drive, which also means we couldn't boot into target disk mode. He took it to the back area and confirmed the issue is solely with the hard drive, but didn't know of any way to fix the drive (some sort of weird 'blade' drive?). The only thing we could do was order a new drive to replace it.
So my question:
WHAT did my use of `dd` DO, to so permanently mess up the drive? I would have thought it would make a non-functional partition, or at worst mess up the MBR/GPT, but I thought that I'd still be able to boot up with the system restore drive and reformat and fix everything. Isn't booting from a USB drive taken care of by the EFI firmware? Could `dd` really corrupt that?
From memory, below are the detailed steps of what I did. Step 10 is where I typed the `dd` command that I think was the end of my poor drive.
1) Use OS X's Disk Utility program to shrink my OS X partition, leaving about 50 GB of free space.
2) Following (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … n_Mac_OS_X), I put an Arch image on my USB flash drive.
3) I installed rEFIt.
4) I booted up with the flash drive inserted, and used rEFIt to select the flash drive.
5) Arch Linux came up. I fire up parted, and saw partition 1 was the EFI partition, 2 was my OS X partition, 3 was some sort of "Recovery CD" partition, and the rest was free space. I typed
mkpart 4 ext4 nnnnnMB -0
(after setting MB as the default unit), and then quit.
6) I restarted, and used rEFIt's tool to MBR <> GPT sync.
7) I restarted, now there were three options: OS X, Linux on the hard drive, and Linux on the flash drive. Both of the Linux options at this point resulted in "No operating system found" if I tried to load them. I understood the new empty partition would be like that, but I'm not sure why the flash drive no longer worked.
8) Puzzled, I booted OS X to search the web. An Ubuntu tutorial somewhere suggested `dd`-ing the .iso into an empty partition. I figured that since I could boot just fine from the USB drive, the first time, maybe if I put the Arch .iso in my new partition I'd be able to boot into it... (I'm thinking now there might have been filesystem issues with that idea.)
9) I opened Disk Utility and saw beneath the icon for my hard drive two entries: My Mac partition, and one called /dev/disk0s4. The flash drive, when it was in there earlier was known as /dev/disk1, and in the linux side I would have thought the new ext4 partition I created would be called /dev/sda4. I therefore assumed /dev/disk0s4 referred to my newly created partition.
10) I opened my terminal and typed
sudo dd if=arch.iso of=/dev/disk0s4 bs=8192
. It waited a while and then it gave the summary of how much it wrote. I didn't pay attention to the output, other than that it looked fairly normal, and I don't remember now what it said exactly.
11) I rebooted.
12) DISASTER
Thanks,
Gabe

This would be my thought too. Unless the Hard Drives in Macs are fundamentally different from those in PCs dd shouldn't break the drive. At most it would corrupt the fuck out of the files on it. Nothing a little partitioning and formatting wont take care of.
I'm relieved to hear my understanding of booting is not too off base.
Is it possible to remove the HDD from a Mac? My first thought would be to plug it into another computer and see exactly what's going on with it.
It is possible to remove, although they're somewhat non-standard in shape (See: MBA's blade-type drives, http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2010/11/ … o-anyone/), so I'm not sure how I'd be able to use it on another computer.
However, today at the Apple store they're putting in a brand new drive, which is supposed to fix the problem. If my MBA can boot a brand new drive, I don't see why it wouldn't be able to boot my corrupted drive. I guess this raises two questions for me:
1) When brand new hard drives are shipped, do they generally come zeroed out? Do they have unspecified data? Is there some sort of MBR structure already on them? I realize Apple might be different here, but what about your standard PC drive?
2) Could dd have somehow caused a hardware failure of the drive? From, I don't know, overheating or something? My drive was a SSD, if that matters.
Thanks for your response.

Using a stand with a macbook air

How do you set up a MacBook Air to go into a Book Arc stand without it going to sleep?

You need to close your macbook in order to place it into Arc, so it needs to go to sleep.
Official party line is that after it falls asleep , you should simply wake it up using keyboard:

TS4516 How can I free up storage on a Macbook air 11-inch, mid 2012?

I have tried everything..., deleting pictures, videos, random documents, cleaning up all I know how to do and I still have zero space left in storage...., besides getting an external harddrive (which I will) WHAT ELSE CAN I DO NOW?!

So why is this here in Boot Camp forum? are you using Windows or wanting to install Windows using Boot Camp?
With the Air not sure about internal upgrades but were you using TimeMachine? maybe you have some pending backups.
Don't use it until you can figure it out. That means boot into Recovery Mode and repair the disk for one thing. Running a Mac on zero free space is asking for the directory to your files to totally fail. Less than 10% free is dangerous (should alert when you get to 10GB free space if it were smart).

Re: I'm getting this error with bootcamp "The startup disk does not have enough space to be partitioned"Aug 20, 2012 7:26 PM (in response to jobu00)Boot Camp must be able to allocate a contiguous block of space on the drive. If it cannot find 10 GBs of contiguous space, then you cannot create the Windows partition.
You will have to backup your OS X partition to an external drive, boot from the external drive, use Disk Utility to repartition and reformat your hard drive back to a single volume, then restore your backup to the internal hard drive.
Get an empty external hard drive and clone your internal drive to the external one.
Boot from the external hard drive.
Erase the internal hard drive.
Restore the external clone to the internal hard drive.
      Clone the internal drive to the external drive
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
      Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After startup do the following:
Erase internal hard drive
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Do not quit Disk Utility.
      Restore the clone to the internal hard drive
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the internal hard drive. Source means the external startup drive.
Note that the Source and Destination drives are swapped for this last procedure.
